This is Yi Xing Ma's version of the Mona Lisa, using his muse, Jun Jun,
once again, with another of her inscrutable expressions. It has
the same type of dark, brooding background and black attire, on
the subject, as the original Mona Lisa, but it still seems to come off
as bright. Ma has his model turned to the left, while the original
Mona Lisa is turned to her right. Mona has her hand on her arm,
while Jun Jun holds some flowers. The lips are more lush, the
dress showing more white skin, and a little blue ribbon in her hair to
complement the little bit of red in the flowers, in her hands.

Personally, even though I am Italian, I believe that I prefer this Mona
Lisa, right down to her "smile".

There is always an interesting twist, in the works of Yi Xing Ma.
Usually, the twists are in the deconstructionist bent that is part of
most of his work. This time, the twist is slightly more subtle.
